Just one comment following previous mail.
Just tried with emacs 23.2. It works very well on this version and it is 
really great.

The bad thing is that this version of emacs is quite slow on Windows system. 
As far I understood it seems to be related to font handling. There is a lot of 
lag, the system freeze. 

So sadly I have to return to release 22.3.1 which is more robust.
